Electrically adjustable front seats are supportive and comfortable, whilst the 366-litre boot and 81-litre front trunk provide decent storage.

The Taycan is free of Vehicle Excise Duty and London congestion charges, though insurance sits in the top group 50 and tyre wear is substantial due to enormous torque levels.
